MV Agusta and Pirelli have collaborated on the creation of a one-off special edition Brutale 800 to celebrate the collaboration between the two Italian brands, selection of Pirelli as the OE tyre for the Brutale 800, and Pirelli’s recent Diablo Rosso III tyre launch.
Dubbed “Diablo Brutale”, it is “a tribute to the design, craftsmanship, sportiveness and high technology of the latest Supersport tyre of the DIABLO family”.
MV Agusta and Pirelli have been working together for several decades, and Pirelli has been MV’s sole OE tyre supplier since 2011, and the “Diablo Brutale” is designed as a “Made-in-Italy” showcase.
“Diablo Brutale” is described by MV as presenting “an attractive matt black colour, which is interrupted only by a luminous red as a reference to the tyre logo. MV Agusta has decided to pay homage to the new Pirelli tyre through some graphical elements. The DIABLO ROSSO III logo appears on the tank’s side, while the typical ‘thunder’ groove of the tread pattern, which represents a tyre’s trademark, appears on the tank as well as on the front fender, plus both sides of the tail. Both the Pirelli logo and the red “D” of DIABLO appear next to the MV Agusta logo on the top of the tank.
“Pirelli has decided to equip this special with a set of DIABLO ROSSO III with a red colour dedicated graphic, just like the details that give the Brutale the unique spirit of the Diablo.
“With the new Brutale 800, MV Agusta questioned the style, engine, equipment and chassis of the previous model with a unique goal: giving birth to the best Brutale ever. The same goal was achieved by Pirelli with the development of the DIABLO ROSSO III, the direct descendant of the renowned and highly rated DIABLO ROSSO™ II, which raises the bar of sport riding even higher than the previous model and extends the qualities of its predecessor, strengthening its features in terms of handling and grip, with long lasting performance”.
